"The 2009 Grands Lolières from Domaine Bertagna is a really suave and classy bottle of
Burgundy in the making, but it is so polished up with expensive oak that some of the mineral
drive that defines great Corton is buried under the generous burden of perfectly executed (but,

cherries, red plums, fresh herbs, soil tones and plenty of smoky new oak. On the palate the wine
is deep, full-bodied and very polished, with a fine core of fruit, a fair bit of ripe tannin (some
from the wood) and a very long, complex and stylish finish. While this wine is unquestionably
